Creativity is a key ingredient leading to success in the Masonry (MA) program. A bricklayer takes units of brick, block, or stone and with a trowel, mortar, skilled hands, and an eye for perfection molds them into buildings, buildings that will be around for generations to enjoy. Just look around--every home, school, mall, church, and sidewalk are part of a mason’s creative genius.

Masonry may lead students to careers in bricklaying or stone-masonry and cementmasonry. The Masonry program also provides an excellent foundation for a future in architecture and architectural engineering or a position as an estimator, a job foreman, and even a self-employed mason. Successful completion of this program allows students the opportunity to attain an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) ten hour training course in “Construction Safety & Health” and a training certification on a Bobcat VersaHandler Telescopic Fork Lift.
